X-Git-Tag: hostap_2_7~624
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=92b6e0c582c60b1b61b8bc926792c30291a1f972;p=thirdparty%2Fhostap.git

hostapd: Send broadcast Public Action frame with wildcard BSSID address

Send Public Action frames with wildcard BSSID when destination was
broadcast address. This is required for DPP PKEX where the recipients
may drop the frames received with different BSSID than the wildcard
address or the current BSSID.
